Default Flymo Hover Comact 350 motor

Yesterday my Flymo Hover Compact 350 gave up the ghost, bottom line is the
motor is shot. Off to the internet I go to find a new motor.

I was quite surprised to see how much a replacement motor costs (bound to be
a small premium on spares), the best I could find was £42 all in (includes
VAT and delivery). Now considering I can pick up one of these mowers new for
£59.99 I'm stunned by the motor only price !.

I'm tempted to buy the new mower due to the warranty etc but I realy don't
feel happy with the fact that I'll be throwing away all that plastic at the
council tip.

I suppose the point of this post is...

Looking for a supplier of cheap new/reconditioned motors.
Whine about how everything is treated as being disposable nowadays
